Really appreciate Mieze's holistic approach -- no body part left ignored. She also helps with relaxation by her singing and helping with breathing techniques, and her sense of humor. I think, she's very intuitive about mood and knowing just how conversational or quiet to be, depending on where the client's mind is. She's currently helping me with pregnancy related aches, and I am really relieved to have found her for this. P.S. Yelp is showing the location as closed, but Mieze has simply moved. She's very much still working! read more

If you book a session with Mieze, your first is unlikely to be your last. She's amazing: calm, intuitive, strong, empathic. She listens to your body and gives it exactly what it needs. Bonus: Mieze's studio is just as lovely, warm, and inviting as she is. read more

I would not be surviving this pregnancy without Mieze's expertise!! I LOVE her prenatal massage, always full of plush pillows and tons of relief for my aching body. She helped me through a major disc problem in my neck with superior technical knowledge, and also gives me a general feeling of peace and well-being. I've seen her before becoming pregnant as well and her massage is simply amazing. Her style is unique: the perfect balance of technical skill and intuitive healing. She's done everything from cupping to hot stones to warm towels in our appointments, always switching it up and customizing to my changing needs. Love this woman!!! Added bonus: her Oakland office is in a very cool historical building that used to be a tile factory. Every detail of it adds to my experience :) Call her TODAY!!! read more

I don't know how to start this review other than by saying the Mieze is the best. I have gotten monthly massages from her for years and my body and spirit have never felt better. I feel like a new person after spending time with her and she has helped heal all kinds of injuries. Thanks Mieze! read more

Dear Mieze, Taking up running again is the dumbest thing I've done in a long time. But seeing you regularly has been an important part of my recovery routine and is always therapeutic. Thank you for taking such good care of me! Warmly, LT read more

Mieze is hands down the best massage therapist in SF and Oakland. She has healing hands and is intuitive, kind and compassionate. She is great with deeper work, too! I have been seeing her regularly for years and I always leave her office feeling amazing. Also, her office is beautiful and very comfortable, she has created a very sacred space. She has helped me so much with TMJ and shoulder pain. Thank you, Mieze! read more

Mieze is special. The care she puts into her practice is obvious, and the effect on my body and mind after seeing her was...hard to state. I don't want to write too much to color the experience for others, but I highly recommend and cannot wait to return. read more

Mieze is fabulous. I go to see her when I just need to relax and come back to my body. I also go to see her when my neck is crazy locked up and no one else can get through. She is an artist that steps up to create just the perfect massage that my body needs at that moment. She gets in deep and specific while also helping my whole body integrate stress and tension. I come out feeling softer as well as having profound insights into the emotional and mental components of my life. Go get a massage with Mieze!!! read more

Mieze has been my go to massage and reiki healer for over 4 years now, and here is how she saved my life: Last year I had a pinched nerve in my neck, prohibiting the use of my right hand and arm. It was a very painful experience, caused by years of overuse as a professional artist and designer. I had a few visits to a chiropractor, which I realized was a bit too harsh of a treatment for my body personally, as well as many visits for acupuncture. I was in constant pain and not sleeping for weeks. Massage was the overall cure for my problem, and after one visit with Mieze, the paint stopped. Thanks to Mieze's knowledge and years of experience with body work and muscle systems, she was able to exactly pinpoint the overused, tight pectoral muscle and jaw muscles that were somehow causing the pain I was experiencing in my neck, back and shoulder. She worked her magic, the pain stopped, and now I continue to see her on a regular basis and it keeps the problem away.... along with better posture ;D She saved my life, because I was facing not being able to work or do what I was put here on earth to do: to create art :) She definitely played a pivotal role in curing my predicament. Mieze is very intuitive and somehow knows exactly what your soul and body needs every time you walk into her studio. Therefore every experience is exactly what you need at that moment in time. I always feel peaceful, relaxed and more comfortable in my own body after massage and reiki with Mieze. I followed her from San Francisco to Oakland. I love the neighborhood her office is in now in downtown Oakland. Great places for lunch, tea and coffee nearby. Oakland folks are lucky to have such an experienced, talented body worker, massage therapist and reiki practitioner in their midst. I highly recommend you work with her ~ read more

Getting a massage from Mieze every 3 weeks has completely changed how my body feels. She has an incredible intuition about what your body needs, can follow the pain throughout your body, and provide the bodywork needed to heal and restore. I have a lot of back and shoulder pain from computer work and now I can do my job and write creatively without pain -- my life is so much better because of it! Not only is seeing Mieze a real treat, but it will help you work through some lifelong pain you've had in your body -- it's so freeing and healing. Highly recommend! read more

Mieze knows what your body needs, and has the right combination of deeper pressure, energetic awareness and lovely healing energy to allow your body to unwind all the tight bits and also release some of the emotional stresses inevitable in this modern hectic world, but all at a pace and rhythm that is led by your body. helpful not scary, healing not forceful in anyway. Able to listen and respond intuitively to the what my body needs, which changes session to session. Highly recommended :) read more

We love Mieze! We've been going to see her regularly for the past two years, and every time we leave her office we leave feeling like completely different people--rejuvenated and relaxed. We work on computers all day long, as a designer and a writer, so our shoulders, arms, and hands can become knotted up, despite our best efforts to use ergonomic positions. Because of this, repetitive stress injuries have been issues for us in the past, and we feel like massage therapy with Mieze is a critical preventative measure. The best thing about Mieze is her awareness and ability to adjust and mix massage styles or pressure to fit the individual and situation: sometimes we need more deep-tissue work, other times a focus on the neck or shoulders. Also, we love that she uses natural products that don't clog our pores and smell wonderful. Thanks Mieze! read more

Highly recommend Mieze for massage. Not only is she great at it, she is caring, and warm. She really makes you comfortable. You will not regret your visit. read more

Mieze is just what the doctor ordered. Literally. She's got a broad skill set, a caring and professional manner, and killer technique. A delightful, nurturing, and healing experience. I'm very grateful to have found her! read more

By far the best massage therapist I've worked with. Mieze's knowledge and intuition far surpass others. Her hands are pure magic.. warm, compassionate, and deep. She truly is an amazing healer. I'm so grateful to have found her !! read more

Lucky you. You've come to this point. The greatest gift you can give yourself is "working" with Mieze. Her intuition will lead her to your healing. She'll give you what you "need" to enable it - even when you think it might be something else. She has a magical way of tuning in, truly, to enable whatever it is that will benefit you... transformation, release, embodiment... Her energy is genuine, her touch opening and her grace?... Angelic. There is no question she has helped guide me on the path of connecting with my truth - in a palpable manner. Through multiple hands-on mediums (reiki, massage, cupping, etc.)... I am a different person because of the work we do together and I am eternally grateful to work with her. read more
